Only partly; James Coonen and Harold Stone are also responsible. The resulting K-C-S draft eventually became IEEE 754 [1] and contained the Gradual Underflow from the very beginning. That said, the eventual decision was collaborative---DEC, a major opponent, even failed to convince its own commissioner.
